The lyrics of Hopesfall's song "Open Hands To The Wind" speak to the futility of trying to obtain something that cannot be grasped, and the inevitability of the dualism of life. The message is that life is fleeting and ultimately meaningless, and the singer is embittered towards humanity for their failures in trying to find a purpose or meaning in the world. Despite this bitterness, the singer acknowledges their own shortcomings and the grief that comes with wisdom and truth. They understand that to be truly wise, one must accept the sorrow and mourning that comes with it. The lyrics suggest that the singer chooses to embrace this burden and weep for those who chase after the wind, those who seek something that cannot be obtained. The song encourages listeners to accept the reality of life's duality and embrace the grief and sorrow that come with it.
